What is Keto Cream used for?

Keto Cream is used to treat a range of fungal skin infections, including athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, thrush, cutaneous candidiasis, pityriasis versicolor, and seborrheic dermatitis. It is effective for infections on the hands, feet, genital area, trunk, groin, scalp, face, chest, or back.

How does Keto Cream work?

Keto Cream belongs to a class of medicines called antifungals. Its active ingredient, Ketoconazole, works by inhibiting the growth of fungi and killing them by destroying their cell membranes, which helps clear the infection and relieve associated symptoms like itching, redness, and scaling.

What is the usual dosage for Keto Cream?

Keto Cream should be applied topically to the affected and immediate surrounding area, typically once daily. For seborrheic dermatitis, it may be applied twice daily. The duration of treatment varies depending on the infection: generally 2 to 4 weeks for most skin infections and tinea versicolor, and up to 6 weeks for athlete's foot. It's crucial to continue using the cream for the full prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence.

What are the possible side effects of Keto Cream?

Common side effects at the application site include burning sensation, irritation, itching, redness, dryness, peeling, or blistering of the skin. Occasionally, it may cause thinning of hair. Severe allergic reactions such as rash, swelling of the lips, throat or face, or difficulty breathing are rare but require immediate medical attention.

Is Keto Cream safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

If you are pregnant, Keto Cream should only be used if prescribed by your doctor, who will weigh the potential benefits against any possible risks. During breastfeeding, topical ketoconazole is generally considered safe as limited data suggests it does not pose a significant risk to the baby and does not typically excrete via breast milk; however, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended.

Can Keto Cream be taken with other medications?

It is unlikely that oral or injectable medicines will interfere with the effectiveness of topical Keto Cream. However, it is advisable to inform your doctor if you have recently used a steroid-containing cream, as a two-week waiting period might be recommended before starting Keto Cream to prevent a flare-up of your condition. Also, avoid using other medicated topical products on the same area to prevent cumulative irritation.

What precautions should be taken while using Keto Cream?

Keto Cream is for external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes, mouth, nose, and open wounds. If accidental contact occurs with eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention if irritation persists. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the cream unless your hands are the affected area. Do not cover the treated area with tight bandages unless advised by your doctor. Keep the affected area clean and dry, and for conditions like athlete's foot, wash socks/tights thoroughly and change shoes daily. If your condition does not improve after 2 to 4 weeks of treatment, inform your doctor.

What happens if a dose of Keto Cream is missed?

If you miss a dose, apply the cream as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one, as this may increase the risk of side effects.

How should Keto Cream be stored?

Keto Cream should be stored below 25°C or 30°C, at room temperature.
